Billie Holiday at Carnegie Hall feat. Riketté Genesis
Boisdale Of Canary Wharf, E14 4QT , [Venue Details]Boisdale of Canary Wharf presents an evocative tribute to Billie Holiday: a deeply immersive evening inspired by her landmark 1956 Carnegie Hall concert.
Expect such classic songs as:
All of Me
Lady Sings The Blues
Aint Nobody Business If I Do
That historic performance saw Billie Holiday intertwine her songs with passages from her autobiography Lady Sings the Blues, offering audiences a rare window into her life, struggles, and creative spirit. This specially curated production follows the same powerful format, blending music and narrative to create a moving portrait of one of jazz’s most compelling figures.
Under the musical direction of pianist Alex Webb, an exceptional live band is joined by acclaimed vocalist Riketté Genesis, whose interpretations of the Lady Day songbook are both respectful and strikingly personal. Between songs, Riketté draws from Holiday’s memoir, allowing the story behind the music to unfold in Billie’s own words.
Riketté Genesis is a leading swing-era jazz vocalist whose work draws on traditional jazz and gypsy swing influences. Her performances span major UK stages, including the Southbank Centre, Wilderness Festival, and WOW Festival.
Pianist and arranger Alex Webb is renowned for his work with top jazz vocalists and for creating acclaimed themed productions, including Café Society Swing and Stormy: The Life of Lena Horne.
